Dos líneas de investigación didáctica con colectivos de tercera edad y patrimonio cultural

El contexto educativo en el cual se desarrollan estas investigaciones es el ámbito no formal del aprendizaje

Trabajar el patrimonio histórico-artístico y cultural con maestros en formación de educación infantil

La participación de modo práctico en la asignatura de Conocimiento del Medio Social y Cultural y su Didáctica, de los alumnos de 2º curso de Educación Infantil de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad de Granada, nos llevó desde el planteamiento inicial a enfrentarnos a nivel teórico-práctico a un grupo de alumnos universitarios que en un futuro cercano van a tener la posibilidad de poner en práctica la experiencia vivida, y contextualizarla según las exigencias de nuestro sistema educativo. Como signo de alerta llamó nuestra atención el hecho de que a la altura de curso en el que entramos en contacto, y a falta de un curso académico para la finalización de la carrera, el 90% de éstos no habían manifestado interés, ni siquiera curiosidad por uno de los ejemplos patrimoniales más significativos de la ciudad de Granada, y vecino a la Facultad que era sede diaria de los alumnos. Por ello, acercarnos al monumento y sugerir mediante un aprendizaje autónomo la propuesta de planteamientos didácticos de aproximación al Patrimonio Histórico- Artístico y Cultural fue todo un reto y una experiencia muy válida compartida entre estudiantes y docente

Pla de difusió del Patrimoni Cultural de Pineda de Mar. Tot el que hi ha i no veus

Les idees que han portat a realitzar aquest projecte són les següents: posar en valor i donar a conèixer la realitat patrimonial que té Pineda de Mar, conèixer i documentar el patrimoni cultural de Pineda, actualitzar l’inventari d’elements declarats al municipi, oferir a la ciutat la possibilitat de tenir un turisme cultural, no només un turisme de sol i platja, ser un projecte útil i factible per a l’ajuntament del municipi. Aquestes idees o raons han estat el rerefons per a encaminar i decidir el projecte final de difusió que es presenta en aquest treball.

Human rights and mortgage repossession: beyond property law using Article 8

Following the Supreme Court decisions in Manchester CC v Pinnock and Hounslow CC v Powell, this article examines the possible impact of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms upon protection of the home in creditor repossession proceedings. The central argument advanced is that, although occupiers may not all be protected through property law, they may enjoy an independent right to respect for their home under Article 8, which should be acknowledged in the legal frameworks governing creditor's enforcement rights against the home. The article suggests that the most common creditor enforcement route, through mortgage repossession proceedings, falls short in this regard. It takes as its primary focus the treatment of children in such proceedings to provide an example of the potential for a human rights-based property protection heralded by these two Supreme Court decisions.

Principles of property law

This comprehensive text covers all of the materials relevant to property law in a detailed and thorough manner. The second edition examines the basic tenants of property law,as well as specific property interests such as land interests and the way in which these interests are conveyed, registered and co-ordinated.The book considers the development of native title as a legally recognised form of property in Australia and how such an interest sits within the common law and statutory infrastructure. Principles of Property Law is a vital book for students studying this complex area and is also a valuable addition to the library of academics and practitioners interested in this field.

How Australian industry policy shaped cultural policy

Public policies that aim to facilitate cultural activities to serve effectively as industries are often regarded as a new phenomenon. This article argues that arts and cultural policies in Australia have reflected and complemented Commonwealth industry policy for most of their history. The significant change that has happened in the past twenty years is not so much a change to cultural policy, but rather a change in the notion of industries and their role in the national economy.

Jump over the gorge : overcoming cultural gap in doing business with China

China has become a synonym for future business growth. It is the business nirvana of the 21st century (Chung 2004). As a major emerging market, China offers many companies great potential in their future growth. China's economic growth has been consistently double digits for the past two decades. China has become an economic power in the world. To Australia, China became its largest trading partner since 2007. While other parts of the world are experiencing economic down tum, e.g. the US and UK, Australia still enjoys its longest lasting economic growth. Much of the growth is largely built on this Chinese demand of minerals (Kirk 2004). Therefore research of Australian companies' internationalisation into China is timely and in high demand. 40 Australian companies' were investigated in a recent research conducted in July - December 2007. Among many findings through the research, one of the major issues was the impact of cultural differences on companies in their operations. The research discovered the gap of cultural differences between Australia and China is large which has caught many companies by surprise. Further the inability to deal with this large cultural gap as well as being properly prepared for the cultural issue they are about to encounter prior to entering into the Chinese market may cause serious issues on performance. It is through this research an important finding is presented that engaging culturally skilled consultants when dealing with Chinese market is an effective and cost efficient way of conducting businesses in China.

An exploration of the notion and nature of the construct of cultural safety and its applicability to the Australian health care context

Cultural safety has been promoted by its New Zealand proponents as an effective process for managing cultural risk in health care and improving the cultural responsiveness of mainstream health services when delivering care to culturally diverse populations. Its effectiveness in this regard has not, however, been comprehensively investigated. A key purpose of this study was to explore and describe what is known and understood about the notion of cultural safety and its possible application to and in Australian health care domains. Findings from the study indicate that the notion of cultural safety is conceptually problematic, poorly understood, and underresearched and, unless substantially revised, cannot be meaningfully applied to the cultural context of Australia.

Cultural diversity, heritage and human rights : intersections in theory and practice

This theoretically innovative anthology investigates the problematic linkages between conserving cultural heritage, maintaining cultural diversity, defining and establishing cultural citizenship, and enforcing human rights.

It is the first publication to address the notions of cultural diversity, cultural heritage and human rights in one volume. Heritage provides the basis of humanity’s rich cultural diversity. While there is a considerable literature dealing separately with cultural diversity, cultural heritage and human rights, this book is distinctive and has contemporary relevance in focusing on the intersection between the three concepts. Cultural Diversity, Heritage and Human Rights establishes a fresh approach that will interest students and practitioners alike and on which future work in the heritage field might proceed.
